History

LIGHT SHIP PETREL was built in 1915 by the Dublin Dockyard Co. and is a vessel of iron and steel riveted construction. The vessel was built for the Commissioners of Irish Lights and was bought by the Down Cruising Club, Northern Ireland in 1968 for use as a clubhouse. It has remained in this role ever since and is maintained by club members.
